Chicago Style Workout 8: Personal Pronouns

Ready for some heavy lifting?

This month’s workout, “Personal Pronouns,” centers on sections 5.38–46 of CMOS 16. Advanced editors might tackle the questions cold; learners can study those sections of the Manual before answering the questions.

Remember: The workouts are all about Chicago! If you’re an expert in MLA, AP, or New York Timesstyle, you might be surprised to find that your instincts don’t quite match Chicago’s. That doesn’t mean that your answer is necessarily “wrong”—it just means it isn’t Chicago style.

[Editor’s update: Minor changes to the original post reflect changes in the 17th edition. Note too that section numbers may have changed in the new edition.]
